Hello, I’m Sapana
Welcome to my website….personal statement
Sapana Doshi, PhD (she/they) weaves together movement and mindfulness to guide others on a profound journey of connection to self and community. Her workshops and classes are crafted with inclusivity at their heart, inviting people of all ages and abilities to explore new depths. Each gathering serves as a sanctuary, where individuals are encouraged to express themselves freely and reflect on their relationship with the world.
Dr. Doshi is also a political geographer and professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Merced where she researches and teaches on global capitalism, body politics and social mobilization, and embodied liberation pedagogy. As a life-long learner and shapeshifter, Sapana is deeply rooted in and humbled by 25 years of Vipassana meditation practice

Freedom Dance Collective
Freedom Dance is a conscious dance space for all people of color.
We are committed to healing the wounds of coloniality in our nervous systems and our world. We recognize that such transformation requires spaces that center marginalized bodies and knowledges.
Our practice combines mindful movement, ecstatic dance, and ancestral wisdom to expand our capacity for presence, joy, and connection.
